Microsoft has sent word that their Xbox 360 exclusive game, Tenchu Z has gone gold and will hit stores across North America on June 12, 2007. The ninja stealth action game features more than 50 missions set in ancient Japan.
Tenchu Z is set in feudal Japan and reflects the Ninja mythology. Gamers must integrate stealth, sword-based warfare and the skill to make use of an extensive variety of ninja accessories to complete their objectives. The gameplay is based on their actions and takes into account how much noise they make, how visible they are, and even how badly they smell. There is a single player mission as well as co-operative play with two to four players through Xbox Live or system link. They can even create customizable ninjas.
Tenchu Z has been developed by K2. It will come with a price tag of $59.99 (approx. Rs. 2,420). Tenchu Z is one of the three Japan-themed games by Microsoft that will release for the Xbox 360. The other two are Vampire Rain and Project Sylpheed.
